2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday HP deals: Key information
When does HP’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale begin?
HP started the deals early, with discounts arriving from November 4 and lasting till December 1.
Black Friday 2025 is likely going to start on Friday, November 28, and the deals will run until Monday, December 1 – the last day being Cyber Monday.
Last year, discounts were applied to a huge range of laptops, spanning all of HP’s range, with models for students, professionals and gamers alike.
Which HP laptop is right for my needs?
Wading through laptop jargon and endless model lists can feel overwhelming, so if you’re unsure what to look for, here’s how HP’s laptop range breaks down.
For everyday use, OmniBook is HP’s newer consumer family that sits alongside Pavilion for mainstream value, while HP Essential models like the HP Laptop 15 keep costs down for simple tasks. Look to the Spectre x360 and Envy x360 models if you want a sleek 2-in-1 that flips between laptop, tablet and presentation modes.
Gamers should check out the Omen lineup for top performance or Victus for bang-for-buck value, with newer Nvidia RTX graphics driving higher frame rates.
HP’s business lineup centres on EliteBook and ProBook for dependable office work, with ZBook as the mobile workstation range for creators and engineers.
If you want to make choosing the right HP laptop simpler, read on and we’ll walk you through the key decisions.
Laptop sizes
If you’ve decided on an HP laptop family, you’ll next want to choose the size that suits you. HP offers a huge range of laptops, including 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17-inch models.
Smaller notebooks are easier to carry and often cost less. Larger machines give you more screen space and, with extra room inside, you’re likely to see more powerful components plus a bigger battery.
Weight matters too. If you need to lug your laptop around for work, aim for a light, compact model that comes in under 1.5 kg.
CPU options
Across HP’s current lineup you’ll often see the latest Intel Core Ultra chips in thin and light models, or the AMD Ryzen AI CPUs.
For gaming laptops, Omen models lean on desktop-class HX processors from Intel, while Victus frequently pairs mid-tier GPUs with older but still grunty Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPUs. In business and workstation lines you’ll also find AMD’s Ryzen Pro series chips, while HP’s OmniBook X uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite.
Newer CPUs deliver the best performance and features, but previous-generation chips remain very capable and can be easier on the budget.
Memory and storage
Most HP laptops now ship with at least 16GB of RAM, which is plenty for everyday use including casual gaming and light video editing. If you need professional level performance, aim for 32GB (or higher) of memory.
For storage, fast NVMe SSDs are standard. You’ll typically see 512GB, with capacities like 1TB or 2TB if you need more space.
Graphics and display
Many HP laptops use integrated graphics, where the GPU sits on the CPU. That keeps heat and cost down but limits visual performance. Integrated options like Intel UHD Graphics, Intel Iris, Intel Arc and AMD Radeon are fine for most tasks or even casual gaming.
If you want serious gaming, pick a discrete GPU that is separate from the processor. Look for Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 GPUs in Omen and Victus machines, but be aware that the more capable GPUs will cost a lot more.
Most current laptops ship with at least a Full HD 1080p display, with plenty offering 2.5K, 3K or 4K, plus OLED on some premium models for deeper contrast and richer colour.
A higher resolution (2.5K+) is best for most tasks, but if you are gaming on a budget then 1080p is just fine.
